  • Publication number: 20170320500
    Abstract: A path planning apparatus and method for an autonomous vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a surrounding information detector that detects surrounding information around the vehicle and a vehicle information detector that detects vehicle information regarding driving states of the vehicle. A vehicle behavior determiner determines vehicle behavior based on the surrounding information and the vehicle information and a driving path generator generates a driving path and a velocity profile for a lane change using the surrounding information and the vehicle information when receiving a lane change signal from the vehicle behavior determiner.

  • Patent number: 9718466
    Abstract: A driving path planning apparatus for an autonomous vehicle includes a driving information obtainer to obtain crossroad information, current velocity, and velocity setting of the vehicle. A global path planner plans a base frame, and an environment recognizer recognizes obstacle on a path and lane information of the vehicle. The apparatus also includes a velocity profile generator to generate a velocity profile for the vehicle, using current velocity and velocity setting, a candidate path planner to plan candidate paths for the vehicle, using velocity profile and base frame, and a path selector to check whether or not the candidate paths have collision risks and select one candidate path of the candidate paths as a driving path for the autonomous vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20160144859
    Abstract: A system and method for performing autonomous navigation of a vehicle are disclosed, which recognize a possibility of collision risk through path estimation of a target vehicle, and generate an autonomous navigation path. The autonomous navigation system for a vehicle includes: a target-vehicle information detection unit configured to detect traveling information of a target vehicle; and a path generation unit configured to estimate movement of the target vehicle on the basis of the information received from the target-vehicle information detection unit, calculate a collision risk value by recognizing a possibility of collision risk between an ego-vehicle and the target vehicle, and generate an autonomous navigation path of the ego-vehicle.
